My Pillow is the Threshold

I take decaf coffee Two sugars and one cream I don’t see the use in staying up just to watch TV I unplug all the neon Turn the ringer off the phone Throw my thoughts like tomahawks Into this world which I disown Because the pillow that I dream on Is the threshold of a kingdom Is the threshold of a world where I’m with you It’s a dark and snowy secret And it has to do with heaven And what looks like sleep is really hot pursuit I hold your picture in my mind It makes me warm when I am cold Gets me up and it makes me walk It makes me question what I’m told Somewhere in a foggy atlas Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea First life takes time then time takes life Now the next move’s up to me Because the pillow that I dream on Leads to some fantastic glory It’s the threshold of a world I can’t ignore Like time unspoiled from heaven Did you find me sleeping in your doorway Now I’m here for good I won’t leave you anymore
